Default Sunday poker tournament?

Quite awhile ago we were having weekly poker tournaments on PokerStars, is anyone interested in getting that going again? If you are, maybe respond here and we can see if there is enough interest for a game this weekend. I think the buy-in was 10+1.

I used to organize on Pokerstars. If there's enough interest, I'll get it going again.

If I can get my money out of Paradise, and into Pokerstars, I'm in.

I couldn't remember who did it, thanks for the reminder. That would be good if you could, because I can't even figure out how to setup a tourney on that program.

How many people were going in this last time around? Sounds like a great idea, at least there's a good chance of my money going to a Flames fan, not a COMPLETE stranger.

I think we would get between 6-10 people last time out.

Depending what time, I may be. Sundays are usually pretty busy for me though.

I'd be in, it was lots of fun last time.

Most Sunday nights work well for me, except this coming one.

Better not be participating at 7:45 this Sunday for those in the CP head to head pool!

So here's the list of who's interested:
Newts, jiggy12, KFF, fire, FMF, Oilers_Fan, oddsrule, Prottotype, Mccree, Greerb.

That's 10, but we had a few other guys before as well (nfotiu, arsenel, Delgar, C'sinmyblood, Oxlong, moon, snakeeye...and a few other guys).

Typically, we held tourneys at 8pm mst, but I think most were flexible to go a little later as well. 8pm or 9pm works best for me.

I'm unsure if I'll be home in time this coming Sunday, but I can set something up for the rest of you when I get home this evening.

Hey guys

Great idea to get this going again. I would be in for sure.
Dissapointing it ended last time but maybe with all the new blood on the board we can get a group of 20 or so guys so we have at least 10-12 each week.

Count me in for sure.

Sundays nights worked OK for me as well. But I would be open to a different night. We should check the Flames schedule again and make sure there aren't many Flames games on Sunday nights.

Just checked the Schedule. Other than a preseason game against Florida there aren't any Flames games that should interfere on Sunday nights. November 1st they play Anaheim but it is a 6pm game so it should be done for a 9pm poker start. Dec 31st they play Edmonton but I really hope all of us have something better to do than play poker that night. Any other Sunday games seem to be in the afternoon.
